First established after the Civil War, Summerhill is a quaint neighborhood less than two miles south of Downtown Atlanta. With unbeatable access to Interstates 20 and 85, commuting has never been easier. Summerhill sits among numerous mass transit stations like the King Memorial Transit Station. Summerhill was the historic site of the 1996 Olympics opening and closing ceremonies, featuring the iconic Atlanta Olympic Cauldron Tower. With its rich history and affordable rentals, Summerhill is a premier place to call home in Atlanta.
Summerhill is situated directly next door to Zoo Atlanta and the city’s popular neighborhood, Grant Park. But Summerhill has popular green spaces of its own like Phoenix II Park off of Martin Street. Summerhill is just minutes from the Georgia State Capital, Georgia State University, Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, and the Masquerade, a longstanding live music venue. Summerhill is the proud home to the Georgia State Stadium, so college football is the talk of the town.

Summerhill was a great neighborhood. Unfortunately the removal of the braves took down the surrounding neighborhood hood. When the brvea where removed it caused the level of diversity to decline. It also caused the affordability to decline also, and the crime level went up. The schools are great.
